Corporate governance: sliding seamlessly into the twenty-first century
Article Abstract:
Corporate governance has reached a state of equilibrium between the demands of accountability and profitability, a state that could be maintained into the 21st century. The increased power gained by shareholders has contributed to the stability of the current regime. After a period of turmoil, adversarial positions have been relinquished in favor of mutual acceptance, negotiation and accommodation between investors and management, as well as a better understanding between business lawyers and academics. The balance could be undermined, however, if shareholders lose power or the Securities and Exchange Commission's effectiveness is diminished.
